users cant submit score after game?

[Saviour]

Fresh install on a 3.8.5 board.

Sorry if this has been asked already, but the problem I have is with Usergroup Permissions...

It would seem there's an extra line after the "Can Delete Any Scores" permission setting. There's no text, but a radio button selection where one can select "Yes" or "No"...but, like I said, there's no text describing what that selection is for. It then carries on with the ability to set the Minimum Posts Required to Play, etc.

Other than that...it's all good.

Is this a bug or coding error?

I'll need just a bit more information than that.

In addition...How does one remove the forum's rank images from the "Logged in As" block of the main Arcade page?

Seriously, though... it's a problem with the phrase. The phrase "can_override_permission_checks" should have a 'phrase type' value of "Permissions" and it doesn't so when viewing the ACP the option is showing but not the phrase.

The value of the text that is not appearing is....

Can Override Permission Checks
This setting allows the user to override checks for permissions and other critera in games. For example, inactive games can be seen and played by the usergroup if this is enabled.

Thank you for pointing this out.

I will include this fix in the next refresh. It won't hurt nothing in the interim but if you want to include fix it locally in the interim it is just a matter of changing the phrase type in Phrase Manager.

ok , i added a game , and its not letting users add his score. how can i fix this?

[Saviour]

Have ran into an issue and not sure if it's a recent upgrade to Firefox, or the mod itself.

The problem is that if a user beats their own high score and nobody else has played the game...it's not saving their highest score. It shows the high score in their Profile, but it doesn't register as the new high score for the game.

Using Fireox 3.6.3 along with a vB 3.8.5 install and v3 2.0.0 installation.

Any help?

I've seen a few people report this over at v3A.com as well (took the day off yesterday, catching up on my To Do list today) and I'll try to recreate this. I may be related to a problem that was to have been patched back in the 1.1.1 release but it may have had an unintended offset.

[Saviour]

Thanks for the reply...

I went to v3A and saw there was a 2.0.1 release...so I downloaded it and overwrote all the files and re-imported the new product allowing overwrite...still no joy.

I've posted over there, as well...hoping some good will come from it.

BTW...I was also under the impression that this mod handled IBPArcade games...so I downloaded a few and imported them...and having the same issue with those, as well.

Anyhoo...can ya keep me posted on this...don't want to go back to the other arcade mod that's here at vB.org. That one isn't XHTML compliant...while this one is. That's one of the main reasons I'm using this mod...instead of theirs.

Would hate to lose this mod, my friend...

Just got done with tonight's batch of private v3A support tickets; am looking at new open issues now. I'm playing some games now trying to duplicate the with v3A 2.0.0 running on vB 3.8.5 (I don't have any older vB 3.x.x sites to experiment at the moment).

Should be no problems with IPB & IPB v32 games; I noticed you're vB 3.8.x so as long as there are no conflicting plugins (eg: making sure that the old IPB product is disabled and/or at least the old IPB plugins are disabled) then you should be fine.
